Medford Historical Society Papers, Volume 26., Eliza M. Gill. (search)
rter member of the Sarah Bradlee Fulton Chapter, D. A. R., a member of the New England Historical and Genealogical Society, also of the Society for the Preservation of New England Antiquities. Prior to her removal from Medford to Waltham her health had failed and in Waltham she entered a private hospital where, after many months of weakness and much suffering at times, she finally passed away. In all this later experience she was upheld by her patient and cheerful spirit and her strong Christian faith. Always a great reader, toward the end she could only be read to and found then her chief comfort in the Bible and Whittier's poems, her especial favorite being his Eternal Goodness. As Miss Gill's church minister for thirteen years, and her next-door neighbor for nearly as long a time, the writer can bear full witness to her fine and interesting mind, her sympathetic nature and her Christian courage, faith and cheer. George M. Butler, First Congregational Church, Dedham, Mass.
